Official Amy Winehouse ‘Back to Black’ Biopic Trailer Charts Singer’s Rise to Fame, Reveals Key Cast Members
The film about the “Rehab” singer is due out on May 17.
The trailer opens with a teenage Winehouse strumming an acoustic guitar in her childhood bedroom as Industry actress Abela says, “I want people to hear my voice… and just forget their troubles for five minutes.” The camera then flashes to images of Abela-as-Winehouse on stage in the what would become the singer’s signature look: short, vintage cocktail dresses, chunky high heels, a teased-up beehive hairdo and her iconic pin-up girl tattoos. The clip features a rush of live performance footage, as well as glimpses of Eddie Marsan ( Ray Donovan) as proud father Mitch Winehouse and Jack O’Connell ( Godless) as troubled husband Black Fielder-Civil. It tracks Winehouse’s elation at her break-out success in the U.S., her wedding to Fielder-Civil — including her dream of being a mum someday — and the couple’s tumultuous, hot-and-cold relationship.
